Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce
- 0.25 cup Cashew butter
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Carrot sticks
- 0.5 cup Celery sticks
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by mixing the hot sauce and cashew butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixtures combine smoothly, and then lower the heat to keep warm.
Once the chicken is cooked, shred the chicken using two forks. Toss the shredded chicken in the prepared buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
To assemble the sliders, place a portion of the buffalo chicken onto each lettuce leaf.
Top with carrot and celery sticks, and sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately as a delicious and health-conscious Whole30 slider option.
